January 15th recap
Patricia Heaton is currently starring in the off-Broadway play “The Scene,” playing the wife of actor Tony Shalhoub. On Monday’s show, she talked about how Tony is an old friend and was the best man at her wedding. When her husband called her during rehearsals to tell her that he missed her, she told him it must have been because she “making out with Tony all day.” She also added that she missed her husband and four sons when they were in Los Angeles, but when they came to New York to visit, it became pretty close quarters, as all six of them shared a two bedroom apartment. She was happy to see them, though, and even found joy in sitting on a wet toilet seat, because it meant her boys were there.
Jo Frost, the Supernanny, was a delightful guest and gave Elisabeth some advice on how to help her daughter Grace get rid of her pacifier. Jo told her to wean her off gradually, because she has been using it a crutch and it would be too hard to go cold turkey. Rosie added that in her family, when the kids got to three years of age, the pacifier fairy came and took the pacifiers. She said this was effective in her house. Jo teared up when talking about the family featured in tonight’s episode: a widow and her four young children, all struggling with grief in their own way. Jo also said that her experience as a nanny, which predated her show by over 15 years, has not deterred her from wanting her own children.
Throughout the show, I found myself incredibly distracted by Elisabeth’s shirt. It made me dizzy to look at it directly, but I couldn’t look away, either.
